Owen's command of Vanja's voice is absolutely incredible and I cannot WAIT to be reunited with my favorite scammer.

I absolutely loved Little Thieves and completely fell in love with the cast of characters and I have been looking forward to the sequel. And this sample of Painted Devils completely blew me away. Vanja is such a compelling and complex protagonist and continues to be such an interesting character to read about. When the whole of this book is released, I already know that it will easily be one of my favorites.

Only Vanja would find. way to accidentally start a cult... oh my! I quite enjoyed Little Thieves and am definitely intrigued by this follow-up. I just adore Vanja and Emetic. This little sneak peek was fun and cheeky. I'm excited for this book to come out.

The writing was fantastic, it set the mood and the prose was really strong, The chapter ended way too soon, I can't wait for the book to come out in May!

I am loving this sampler chapter and am here for these characters and story set-up. I am so excited for this book already and the official ARC isn't even out! Margaret Owen has officially now become one of my favorite authors.

I am so incredibly ready for Painted Devils. This sneak peek chapter sample was everything.

I love that she accidentally starts a cult. But if anything happens to my favorite cinnamon roll boy I will riot.

So excited for this! It was a good read and I can’t wait for the book to drop next year. Thanks for the excerpt!

What a fantastic sampler this was, and it left me intrigued wanting more. I already feel questions being answered and new ones arising... and I'm very much eager to know what lies in store for our characters.

I am unbelievably excited for this book! The same wry humour, immediately likeable characters, enticing and thrilling magic as the last book. A great hook! Really makes you want to read more. I have never attempted to review the first two chapters of a book before, so I don't know what to say. Great work, can't wait!

My only complaint is that this sample is not long enough and I’m so excited to read more! I can’t wait to catch up with Emeric and Vanja !

I love love loved the first book in this series by Margaret Owen, and from this sampler, the second book will be just as good! I honestly can't wait to read this book.

If you haven’t read Little Thieves yet, this sampler of Painted Devils will make you want to read that first book while you excitedly await for this whole book to become available!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this digital sampler.

I am very much looking forward to reading the entire book after reading the chapter sampler! I cannot wait to see what all Vanja gets into.

I absolutely adored 'Little Thieves', but I have to admit I was surprised to hear about a sequel in the works... after reading the chapter sampler 👀 I take it all back!

I can not wait to dive back into this world and see if Vanja can fix the mess she's gotten herself into once again!

This sample of the book has left me craving more! Vanja's personality leaps off the page from the very beginning and instantly draws the reader in. The amount and quality of the worldbuilding included in just these few pages makes it a guarantee that I'll be reading this book as soon as I get the chance. Absolutely fantastic!

Little thieves is in my top fantasy reads of this year and this sampler has made me feeling all the feels I did with little thrives. I simply CANNOT wait. Im so excited for this book! the sample was simply perfect and now I just want more!

Oh, this was a fun chapter sampler! The beginning was so fun and I'm excited to see where this story goes.

I realized as I was reading that I remember nothing from Little Thieves, so I'll definitely need to reread that one before reading this full thing.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SAMPLE!

Little Thieves is one of my absolute FAVORITE books so when I saw this pop up on here I alerted all of my friends and immediately downloaded it. I cant WAIT to dive back in to this world with the characters I love so much. Margaret Owen owns my entire soul with Vanja and Emeric!
